consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens
produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these
eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back
up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol
but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from
food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production
of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer
eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood
cholesterol level.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
MICKEY MANTLE
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York
Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last
year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle
symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and lefthanded. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a
wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America‟s fascination with him.
Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from
Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairytale version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a
person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was
Mickey Mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played
without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father‟s dreams and drank
to forget his father‟s early death.
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and
accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life
and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped.
Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery,
Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.
Question 45: What is the main idea of the passage?

.

A. Mantle’s being a wonderful athlete

B. Mantle’s being fascinated by many people

C. Mantle’s being a “switch-hitter”

D. Mantle’s being a fast and powerfulplayer

Question 49: It can be inferred from the passage that for most Americans

.

A. success in Mantle’s career was difficult tobelieve
B. Mantle had a lot of difficulty achieving fame and success
C. Mantle had to be trained hard to become a good player
D. success in Mantle’s career wasunnatural
Question 50: The author uses the word “But” in paragraph 4 to

.

A. explain how Mantle got into trouble
B. give an example of the trouble in Mantle’s privatelife
C. give an argument in favor of Mantle’s success and fame
D. change the topic of the passage
Question 51: The word “fulfill” in paragraph 4 mostly means

.



C. His loneliness

D. His way of life

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and
moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas
are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they
think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by
hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by
a network of public footpaths.
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking
or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and
pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many
commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would
have a better and healthier lifestyle.
The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use
of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area
of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed
by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the
building work.
America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the
West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as
Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In


Question 57: Which is NOT mentioned as an activity of relaxation in the countryside of Britain?

A. Those who go to fruit farms in summer

B. Those who commute to work in towns

C. Those who dream of living in the country

D. Those who go to the country for a picnic

Question 59: Which of the following threatens the countryside in Britain?
A. Plants and wildlife

B. The green belt around cities

C. Protests against the building work

D. Modern farming practices

Question 60: The phrase “associated with” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. separated from

D. they enjoy the safe, clean, attractive environment there
Question 64: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Towns in some Midwestern states in the US are separated by long distances.
B. Both British and American people are thinking of moving to the countryside.
C. The majority of American people live in cities and towns.
D. Many British people think of the country as a place of peace and relaxation.
